Chapter 2596: Courting Death
Salamay chuckled. âIt has been a while, young master. Youâre still as dashing as ever.â
The Goddess of Wu Mountain, Ji Xiaoxi, and Xie Daoyun frowned upon hearing her laughter.
Her way of speaking is so detestable.
Zu An looked around and noticed someone missing. âWhereâs Princess Suolun?â
âTsk tsk tsk. The princess will be moved to know that youâre so concerned about her.â Salamay shook her head. âBut shouldnât you show concern to me too, young master? How heartless!â
Zu An harrumphed. âIt hasnât been that long, but you have changed.â
âChanged? Am I more beautiful than before?â Salamay asked.
âYouâve become cheap.â
â...â Salamayâs smile froze on the spot.
You have successfully trolled Salamay for +444... +444... +444...
The smiles didnât disappear. In this case, they merely moved from Salamayâs face to Ji Xiaoxi and the others.
Seeing his daughter getting humiliated, the Lord of Slaughter harrumphed in anger. âBrat, youâre courting death!â
He stomped his feet, causing the ground to shake. He leaped into the air and unleashed terrifying saber ki on Zu An.
The humans on the city wall, despite being a far distance away, couldnât withstand the terrifying pressure and fell paralyzed on their butts. Their weapons scattered all over the ground.
Zu An drew the Sun Slaying Bow and shot an arrow. It pierced right through the Lord of Slaughterâs saber ki and accurately struck his saber.
Ding!
A piercing sound rang out, and the Lord of Slaughter was sent flying. His arm was numb, and he stared at his saber in shock. It was cracked.
This put him in a terrible mood. He had already returned to his peak, and several fortuitous encounters had further raised his fighting prowess. On top of that, Salamay had shared with him how Zu An defeated the Monster Lord back then, which gave him a good grasp of Zu Anâs skills. Given that Zu Anâs cultivation was beneath his, as long as he leveraged on his own strengths, he should have been able to pull off an easy victory against the latter. He hadnât expected to suffer such a huge setback right from the get-go.
âBe careful of his bow. Thatâs Suzeng, a divine weapon that can even shoot down the suns in the sky,â Feng Meng warned.
The Lord of Slaughter was appalled. He had seen Zu An use this bow before, but never had it displayed might comparable to what shot the suns down earlier. He was glad Zu An had opted for rapid fire instead of going for a full power shot, or else that earlier arrow could have claimed his life.
âDonât you pride yourself on being the number one archer? Why donât we compete on those terms?â Zu An sneered as he shot another arrow at Feng Meng.
Feng Meng took in the earlier lesson and didnât dare to let his guard down. He rapidly fired three arrows, each one accurately striking the heads of Zu Anâs arrows to neutralize their force.
In the meantime, the Lord of Slaughter used the chance to charge at Zu An like a cannonball.
However, the Goddess of Wu Mountain gently moved her fingers, and layers of rippling water suddenly blocked his path. This caused the Lord of Slaughterâs movements to slow as if he was trapped in a bog.
In the meantime, Xie Daoyun channeled her talismans. Two massive golden-armored warriors descended from the sky. One held the Lord of Slaughter down, and the other swung his massive axe down on the latterâs head.
The Lord of Slaughter roared. He transformed into his true body, enlarging into a humongous dinosaur monster that towered over the others. He knocked down a golden-armored warrior with a kick, before brandishing his saber to slice the other one in half.
The golden-armored warrior who was knocked down tried to return to his feet, only for the Lord of Slaughter to raise his massive foot and stamp down on the former's head.
Pu!
The golden-armored warriorâs head burst like a watermelon, and his figure dissipated.
These kills drew out the Lord of Slaughterâs bloodthirst. He raised his neck upward and unleashed a terrifying roar.
The humans spectating the battle were so intimidated by the roar that some even pissed their pants. This was natural fear they felt toward their nemesis.
âMonster! Heâs a monster!â
âHe isnât a human!â
âWhat kind of monstrosity is he?!â
...
A few human warriors had still been planning to aid the Lord of Slaughter, but the sight of his true form caused their feet to halt in place. Some even retreated out of fear.
The Lord of Slaughterâs eyes reddened.
These lowly, reprehensible humans! Just wait till I subdue Zu An; Iâll surely capture some to have a taste! Fine, in light of that lord, Iâll just gobble up a thousand of you. He shouldnât punish me if itâs only to this extent.
Many more hands suddenly sprouted out of Feng Mengâs body, and his bow seemed to clone itself as well. He began firing arrows at Zu An like a gatling gun, not giving the latter any time to rest while buying time for the Lord of Slaughter to approach him.
The Lord of Slaughter understood the intent and charged toward Zu An. The next moment, however, the sky abruptly darkened, and a purple sea of lightning instantly enveloped him.
It was the High Firmament Talisman!
Despite the Lord of Slaughterâs resilient body, the ferocious purple lightning still had him screaming in pain. As this world was rich in natural ki, the prowess of heavenly lightning was far stronger compared to other worlds.
âYou lowly slut! How dare you!â Salamay roared as she charged at Xie Daoyun with a dagger.
Xie Daoyun was startled. She was too busy channeling the High Firmament Talisman to dodge.
âI wonât allow you to hurt big sister Xie!â Ji Xiaoxi suddenly cried out as she sprayed a black fog at the incoming Salamay.
Salamayâs plan was to endure the poison fog and first get rid of Xie Daoyun. Since Ji Xiaoxi's cultivation was only on the level of Taoqiuâs ordinary warriors, Salamay didn't think she was a threat. Furthermore, she always carried a couple of defensive artifacts with her.
It was only upon coming into contact with the black fog that she realized how grievous of a mistake she had made. Her protective artifacts enveloped her with protective light barriers, but all of them shattered as soon as they came into contact with the fog. She felt an excruciating pain assaulting her, and that prompted her to quickly retreat.
âGAHHH! MY FACE!â Salamay retreated while clawing at her face. It didnât take long before her beautiful features were disfigured. To make things worse, the black fog was still seeping deeper into her body. It melted her flesh and blood, revealing her white bones beneath.
This made the Lord of Slaughter roar in anger.
The spectators were horrified as well. They couldnât believe that the sweet-looking, frail lady would employ such a terrifying poison.
Ji Xiaoxi was stunned too. She quickly tossed a porcelain bottle over. âHere, hurry up and take the antidote.â
As a renowned physician, she had previously concocted medicine to suppress her bodyâs poison. At the same time, she also controlled the black fog to leave Salamayâs body.
Without any hesitation, Salamay grabbed the porcelain bottle and downed its contents. Her frenzy gradually receded as the medicine took effect. With her formidable recovery prowess, she swiftly regrew her flesh and skin. However, perhaps due to the poison seeping in too deeply, all kinds of warts and scars were left on her beautiful face, making her look hideous.
âYou bitch! Iâll murder you!â Salamay glared at Ji Xiaoxi with venomous eyes. She had never expected to suffer such a setback in the latterâs hands.
âS-Sorry...â Ji Xiaoxi profusely apologized, not having expected Salamay to end up like that.
Zu An was speechless
How can anyone be this kind? If the situation was reversed, thereâs no way Salamay would spare her.
He turned toward the city and shouted, âYouâre still holding out. Are you planning to watch as they march to their deaths here?â
After saying his piece, Zu An shot a gleaming arrow that easily dispersed Feng Mengâs exaggerated arrow rain. The arrow whizzed onward with unabated momentum to shatter Feng Mengâs bow before pinning him against the city wall.
